New from @wpinvestigates: We wanted to understand why youth crime shot up so stunningly in D.C. in 2023. Today, we published a multi-part investigation into the city's failure to both prevent and address the epidemic. Each part threaded here. Thank you for reading! 1/x

“I keep seeing these memes where Indians are bragging about taking our tech jobs,” said Ely, 36. “So I said, ‘Oh yeah? Well I’m going to work with these guys that are going to arrest you, slam your face on the pavement and send you home.’” https://t.co/f91gDstmjJ

Wow story from @TheWillHobson and team: Colts hid owner’s three relapses from the public “while Irsay and the Colts publicly touted the importance of transparency in addressing addiction”

Important accountability work from our climate and rapid-response investigations teams >> Owners said a Texas RV park was safe. Then flooding killed 37 people.

I know lots of folks are down on the Post, but holy hell have they marshaled their forces to cover this story. From @jennygathright and @Meagan_Flynn to @ELaserDavies and @oliviacgeorge (and *so many others*), they are kicking ass.

So thrilled to be joining The Post’s incredible investigations team as a deputy editor! https://t.co/0mnSMfD9SS

Since Trump deployed federal law enforcement across D.C., there has been a lot said about youth crime. A recent Post investigation found that several of the city's systems designed to keep teens from criminal behavior are failing>> @laurenmlumpkin 📽️ https://t.co/76T6hpGy2U

Exclusive: Much of what made Camp Mystic special also put it at risk as the Guadalupe River rose. But a Post investigation found that camp leaders also did not evacuate campers until an hour after receiving a “life threatening” flood alert.

1/Read our @washingtonpost investigation on how the leaders of Camp Mystic got a 'life threatening' flood alert from the National Weather Service at 1:14 am on July 4 - but didn't evacuate for more than an hour later, as the camp descended into chaos

My latest: D.C. teens wearing GPS ankle monitors have repeatedly let the batteries of their devices go dead. Judges and probation officers have scrambled to find these youth — some who are accused of violent crimes & others who are as young as 12.

MPD Chief Pamela Smith says there were 15 arrests over the weekend related to "large groups of juveniles throughout our city." A few weeks ago Bowser said she will soon propose a new curfew for juveniles, pushing the current midnight curfew up a few hours.

D.C. youth, 16, ordered confined until age 21 in killing of disc jockey. The teen had 5 other assault, robbery cases as well. Such a heart-wrenching case. #dcyouth
